I think it’s the inevitability. It Follows is the concept of the snail that spends every waking moment getting closer to you and if it touches you you die. So it makes you paranoid of the inevitable moment when you let your guard down and it gets you.

@@ittyandpocky It Follows is amazing, the motive of inevitable death slowing approaching is executed brilliantly! Also I think It Follows works so great is the fact it's basicly modern slightly art housey take on both Halloween (the way it's shot, the score, the tension, curse/death stalks almost like Myers and other slashers do) and A Nightmare On Elm Street (group of teens facing a supernatural threat in a world full of incompetent/absent adults)

When Conan mentioned things that aren't meant to be scary but suddenly are, I immediately thought of those scenes in Twin Peaks when something terrible is about to happen and there are close-ups of the stair case and the record skipping on the record player and the ceiling fan. While not technically a horror director, David Lynch was a master of horror filmmaking.

My all time favorite is The Shining. It’s the first horror film I ever saw. Decades later, and so many horror films watched later, and it still terrifies me. The sense of dread throughout. The descent into madness. Ari Aster though is another genius film maker. The way he’s able to build suspense and tension in midsommar, in the bright sunshine surrounded by beautiful scenery, is masterful.

What Conan is saying about slow vs fast is actually true. If something is rushing you, you don't have time to be truly scared. It's all adrenaline. Which is why modern zombie movies with running zombie movies feel more like action films as opposed to the dread and doom of older zombie films. If you happen upon a bear in the wild and it charges you from 15 feet away, you're not gonna have time to be afraid. But if you see a bear a hundred or so yards out, your nature walk is now filled with anxiety, dread, concern and fear.

I like Conan's insight, and I also agree. Where it's funniest or scariest when it's not supposed to be. It's the incongruence of a situation that people are good at perceiving, whether scary of funny. When everything is clownish and you're told when to laugh because of obvious joke, it gets boring. I like it most when I can laugh at something a few seconds later, and then keep smiling about it. Nathan Fielder was in this style and being my current favorite, where he's not just about funny and moved into integrating other emotions and things are funny as almost meta, and there is weirdness and awkwardness.

That is what made John Wayne Gayce appealing as a serial killer. The societal perception of the clown did a complete 180 which lead to so many people having actual phobias of clowns. The contrast of the harmless fun silly clown that doesn't take anything serious helps intensify the horror element when it acts oppositite of it's nature. This in my opinion, is far more horrifying than the scary looking monster acting like a monster. With that being said, I am aware that the evil clown is a bit of trope now, but when it initially came on the scene, it was fantastic and worked brilliantly.

YES: _The Witch_ was an instant horror classic; Eggers enlisted the bleak foreboding of that cold, unforgiving New England wilderness to authentically cast the natural dread in the air and the circumstantial horror of their plight as they descended into a fated demise, their principled stubbornness succumbing to a darkness that patiently took everything and everyone, with a subtly menacing certainty. It truly was masterfully done, one of my favorite films ever, and certainly a favorite horror movie of all time. I'm not 'able' to be a witch-/occult-/demonic-/satanic-/black magic-/ghost-horror flick enthusiast at ALL - I think they're almost _all_ done so, sooo poorly and unoriginally and unimaginatively, full of nothing but weak plots, lame banality, pg-13 jumpscares, uncompelling premises, and such _incredibly_ tired tropes from the get-go... But what Eggers accomplished with that movie instantly transcended everything ever done in that entire horror subgenre. It was truly a masterful work of art - and legitimately spooky for once - from start to finish... It's what horror should always be, each film marked by genius in its own way, in its own respect, throughout its entire runtime. 👍 👍 👍

What made this movie work for me was that it was also period accurate. It was a horror movie about being in the actual horror of being in a home accused of witchcraft from the social and just making a living standpoint. Their lives were ruined and then they ruined eachothers dealing with it. BUT! The witchcraft was real as well and all the biblical language and religious interpretrations of actual witchcraft were accurately represented. It isn't just good film making, or horror, it is good research as well. If we were to take the idea of 17th century Satan worship seriously, this is basically how it would pan out.

The first horror movie I always recommend to anyone is the original Candyman. The hair & fashion might be dated, but it's a legitimately scary movie. The antagonist is creepy af, but it's also the environment the protagonist explores that is creepy, like Conan mentions about The Witch. The music is wonderful, there's gore (not my thing but some people love it, so it's there), it's got a sort of ghost story aspect, it's got a lot of emotional sadness watching the residents of Cabrini Green struggle, and I can't get over how well the villain is portrayed. My second is usually the first Nightmare on Elm Street, but definitely Candyman for #1.

I love that they talk about tone. Horror comes from the tone, every time. There's been a long period of horror movies (that I think is gradually being moved away from, thankfully) that focused solely on jump scares and/or the design of the "monster". The monster isn't scary without the tone, no matter the design. Jump scares aren't scary without the tone and even then they dull the whole feeling if they're overdone. Horror movies with constant jump scares just feel like long youtube videos. Tone does the lion's share in a good horror flick. And Jordan calls it (unsurprisingly), the music carries a lot of the weight in that.

Horror is obviously subjective so I don't think people that like fast zombies are "wrong," but I definitely agree that the dread imposed by slow zombies (and stuff like It Follows) is more horrifying to me than fast zombies. In a real life situation, I'd of course prefer slow to fast (since fast are objectively more dangerous), but in a movie, the oppressive unending horde symbolizing your inevitable doom is so much more moody and existentially terrifying than fast zombies running screaming and chomping. E.g., compare Resident Evil and Dead Rising to Left4Dead

Conan really has good taste when it comes to horror movies. I mean, my favourite 3 horror movies of the last 8 years are It Follows, Midsommar and The Lodge. I actually got a few people really scared by recommending the latter to them! 😂 Edit. Get Out is also on my list, but I’d put it as the fourth best. Still a masterpiece, so refreshing and well thought.

To Conan's point about normal things producing a reaction, I remember watching the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and there is a scene where Daniel Craig's character Blomkvist is in a car where they are just driving up to an estate and there's snow and wind and I recall getting a chill down my spine in a rather warm theater. It's stuck with me all these years because I was amazed at how just visualizing that made me cold. Superb cinematography along with the right music.

My all time favorite is still THE CHANGELLING with George C Scott from 1980 directed by Peter Medak. The small children’s rolling ball down the stairs and the spirit session still creeps me out no matter how many times I watch that movie. If you are looking for a classic haunted house movie , check that one out.

I've found that the type of horror that they are talking about is exactly what I like. It's that daytime horror, where everything should be OK, but there are hints that something is not quite right. The idea that in a place that should be safe, the characters are not safe. Halloween scared the heck out of me as a kid. I saw a lot of horror movies, but that is the one that gave me nightmares. It scared me more so than a movie with a raging, growling, bloody monster. It was that minimalism that Jordan spoke of. The blank expression on the mask, the minimal movement, and especially the silence of Michael Meyers. Of course the music helped a lot too.

an entity walking toward you is scarier than if it were running because you're not in fight or flight, you're lucid, and you know this thing will eventually get to you and kill you. so you have to constantly be moving away from it. you're physically safe, but it's always on your mind, it's always coming for you and when it gets to you're dead. eventually you will get tired of it and give in. that kind of horror, taking place over weeks months years even, changes who you are. it turns you into a different person. it's wild. that's what death is. it's slowly walking toward you

I watched some British horror from the 70's on the advice of my Uncle. In Britain the BBC used to adapt old M. R. James short stories every holiday season called "A Ghost story for Christmas" a tradition I'm sad to say was not constant during my childhood as I think kids were allowed to stay up late at Christmas time and some got badly scared and the BBC got complaints so they stopped them but a lot of them are exactly what Conan was describing in terms of gradually stalking, slow build filled with great sound design inspiring that feeling of dread followed by a horrific climax I'm definitely with him on this one, it's a lot more scary to be hiking, turn around and seeing an unnatural looking thing behind you that you can't quite see clearly but no matter how quickly you walk or even run it just keeps showing up constantly following you. "Whistle and I'll come to you" and "A warning to the curious" are 2 very similar tales to "It follows"

The original Ju-On The Grudge is one I often site as being a forming in my early horror film viewing history that actually made me understand upon first watch what was happening in it, and also equally terrified me. A lot of that has to do with the camera work, the acting, and the silence that then follows with music that helps make a scene terrifying. "It Follows" is all about the dread. It doesn't feel like a horror film really, but it certainly is by the end. Especially Kayako, the Grudge spirit who haunted my dreams and made me afraid to take showers for weeks after watching it. The premise was very simple, you take a haunted house trope, set in modern Japan, and you just take a specific idea in the Japanese folkloric tradition of a curse and a Onryo, or a vengeful spirit, and use that as the medium to tell an otherwise scary, haunting story. One such story that, in a unique enough way and with a terrifying premise (in a female spirit chasing you and NEVER letting go once it has you in its sights), someday, they say it's a Supernatural horror classic. Like it has become.

About the first point mentioned that something of everyday life becomes terrifying, it reminds me of that forrest scene in Lord of the rings: Fellowship of the ring that the forrest seems normal at first but then the twist of reality happens. Than about the thing that Conan said about sometimes slow things seem more scary, it reminded me of the japanese film "Kairo"/"Pulse" when a ghost is abnormaly and almost in slow motion following someone. It reminds you of a predator following its prey.

I know this already exists but I feel like I haven’t seen it pulled off at a high level yet. I just want a horror movie, set at Christmas time, with the normal “Christmas Music at the mall” music. But slowly awful things happen that are truly horrifying. I think what people get wrong is they try to make Christmas itself scary, like “what if Santa was a monster” blah blah blah. But like, just even a stalker slasher movie set in a snowy December with that music would be amazing. Idk I can’t describe it well I guess. I’m trying to describe a feeling that I can’t even place.

One of my core film memories I hav, is a horror film memory. Early 90’s, I was maybe 6 - 7. My dad showed me and my brothers “The Thing From Another World”. That went well enough. After seeing us handle that fine, he said “Alright, next week we’re going to turn things up a notch and watch the remake with Kurt Russell.” Very different, but equally great movies.

An absolute slow burn horror (directed by the son of horror royalty) is "The Black Coat's Daughter" from Osgood Perkins. I still think about that film's sense of dread and punch in the gut ending, years after having seen it. I do understand why it's not as popular as other A24 horror films, because it doesn't have the outright bombastic thrills, audiences raised on CGI turd fests seem to require.
